SWA lands at wrong Branson Airport

[Dornier 335]

Another lib offended by their great satan, Fox news. But of course you always trust msnbc,abc,nbc, cbs, new york times, los angeles times, etc.etc., because those guys are an arm of your beloved dumbocrat party.

I suggest the following. And that applies to other networks, too.

Bottom line: Use your brain. It may hurt at the beginning, but you'll get used to it.

Well said, it's amazing how many people in the country will let someone who will say anything to boost ratings do their thinking for them.

Speaking of news and this incident, was anybody else blown away by how bad the story on 20/20 was last night. Aviation reporting is often weak, but that story was incredibly misleading.

Reporter crashes sim, proving that we have a national crisis on pilot proficiency.

Still waiting from a SW guy, do all of your aircraft have RAAS onboard? Even without the approach in the box they should have heard they were approaching the wrong runway......

No idea what this is so I guess that answers your question.

How classic was that....along with tying in the SWA incident with pilot's over use of automation.

Oh, and I want to find out how I can fly from HNL to JFK and only have to push 7 buttons....that will make my job so much easier!

Right??

And that coming from an American pilot.

Except Fox

Always trust fox

Fair and balanced

Hehe. Another fox news hater. You folks remind me of the loonies who used to play every pop song backward looking for instructions on how to worship the devil.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I think all TV news is for idiots with minimal attention spans. I get my news from print, where there is time and space to hash out more of the facts, and breathless reporting is much tougher to pull off.

Fox news is just another liberal dog whistle, and right on cue, here you are clutching your pearls and dropping onto the fainting couch. I don't watch fox. I don't even like fox. But I *love, love, love* watching libs get their panties in a twist over it.

Thanks! you made my day.

That's right....anyone who doesn't follow the gospel according to Fox or Rush is a lib....and anyone who doesn't believe in Maddow and MSM are angry old rich white guys..They are all full of sheeeet...repubs, dems....blah, blah, blah...they have an agenda sans reporting factual news...follow the money for the real agenda....don't have to hold your nose and choose...stay independent ...try doing your own thinking instead of listening to all the bubbleheads....they really all are idiots which doesn't speak well for those of us who believe in their dribble

"drivel"

Yeah, that's right, it was the liberals doing that, not the crazy right-wing religious nuts.

 

[waveflyer]

Aww, you mad livin?
Cause you just wrote 3 paragraphs on my flame, but got a 'go fish' from me on yours.
So who's panties are in twist?

Keep trying man

 

[ron burgundy]

We have been doing it this way for 42 yrs with no real excruciating consequences for us.
Why change?? It's all good.

Surprised SWA hasn't made the investment, small software change within the GPWS.

Anybody ever witnessed a pilot who swore they were too disciplined and too careful to ever end up in a UAS [undesired aircraft state], end up in a UAS. They shut down. Knew one who went off a runway and just sat there uninjured in catatonic shock. It's handy to have personnel around who have made errors and can relate that experience.

IMO this is an opportunity to be good natured about an error that was going to happen to someone. I've flown around there al lot and PLK is lit up like a bigger airport than it is. I'm guilty of being critical of SWA on a lot of things, but how many of you being critical of this error have flown in that area?
